this is the obama/mccain map as you see here. all of the blue states are the ones that obama carried, all of the red states are the one that mccain carried. well, two huge battleground states, of course, over the last four years have been ohio and florida, and there's going to be big changes in both. florida was 27 electoral votes. now it's going to be 29. that's a plus two. that's good news, you would assume, for, frankly either, at this point, but for obama. now let's go to ohio. in ohio, of course, as everybody learned over the past decade, it's been 20 electoral votes. well, not anymore. it looks like it's only going to be 18. and i'll be honest, there's something about the fact that it's no longer in the 2s that makes it seem like just less of an important state. still going to be a swing state. 18 electoral votes still matter. but it certainly does change the math. let's go back, the big winners in all of this, frankly the biggest winner is texas. they're gaining four. it's now going from 34 electoral votes probably to 38.
